The room included a walk-in shower. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board were provided for my convenience. I used the iron to press some clothing and it worked perfectly. The mugs were a nice touch instead of small cups.

The hotel had plenty of free parking. The location was pleasant. The room decor was nice.
There was not enough hanging space in the room for two people. I had been promised a room with a lake view. It changed last minute to the car park side. The car park side was noisy.
